Easily Forgotten Everton Players

[Gaffa]

Bit puzzled the lad scored arguably one of the most important goals in the last 20 years mate ?

He was still absolute garbage

Not sure if mentioned already but CLAUS THOMSEN

He looked like a great prospect when he first broke through. I remember a Middlesborough supporting mate seeing him play for us at their place and he was convinced he would play for England. He just seemed to slowly deteriorate/not kick on and was never able to nail down a permanent position in the first team. Can't remember if he had injury problems or anything going on off the field that may have affected him. He didn't have a bad career, he left us for Man City and then Burnley after that, I think. He was a local lad and his closest current equivalent would be Tom Davies.

He's a scout for the U17s-U23s.

I remember at the time there was nothing between Bugsy and Shaggy,it could have been Bugsy who enjoyed that glory period with us,he went on to have a fine career with Coventry.

He did, but I had no idea he'd ever played for us. I started around '82 so probably just missed the fella.

fair report that, tho' Tom Davies has a little more flair about him. The little i remember of Grant was just that he was functional.

I'd say the total opposite. Grant was a beautiful player to watch, all silky skill and a genuinely superb passer of the ball. He was just slow and lightweight really, not cut out for the blood and thunder of the PL.

Had his injury problems, was a little lightweight but always gave his all. Had twinkle toes on the ball and I don't recall too many bad games. He was just too lightweight for the style Royle had, with Parkinson, Ebbrell, Horne etc. Think he made a career at Burnley then injuries killed him. He was a right skinny blonde lad

Wasted talent who had little interest in football he just happened to be good at it, think he ended up at Luton or somewhere like that.
